If you have a hypophysectomized and depancreatized rat, and you inject ig with GH how much will it grow?
|
BARELY
You need to give it Insulin as well. NEED INSULIN AND GH TO GROW! |

|
|
Do ppl with diabetes have a lot or a little fat in blood?
|
A lot. Hyperlipemia
|
|
Why do people with diabetes have deep and rapid breathing?
|
Because you have increase fatty breakdown you also have increased ketogenesis and ketoacidosis, breathe rapidly to try to compensate. (lower CO2 by breathing in, pushes equation to the right)
